Here we have two sculptures of a green plant and its growing stages sharing one base stand. The front piece has a large seed pod shaped like a giant flower bud. The pod is opening at the top with two thick, bumpy stems emerging and curling outward. Behind it is a horizontal stem with large black spots and patches of wispy hairs attached to a base. From the horizontal stem a bundle of green pods resembling peppers are encased by an rectangular shell of leaves, as if they were protecting the green pods and are, at last, opening.
